Print Shop Quote Automation
Turn calls, forms, emails, and meeting notes into print shop quote drafts with missing-info flags and human review.
Quoting slows down when every job starts as a loose message, a blurry art file, or a half-complete conversation.
Quote automation structures the request, pulls the right assumptions, and creates a draft that a human can check instead of writing from scratch.
What this replaces
Most shops try to manage print shop quote automation with a mix of inboxes, spreadsheets, text threads, memory, and paper notes. That can work at low volume, but it breaks when rush jobs, artwork questions, proof revisions, and unpaid orders all hit at once.
- Scattered customer conversations across email, SMS, phone, forms, and DMs.
- Quote details that live in one person's head instead of the customer record.
- Production notes that are rewritten by hand as work moves through the shop.
How the system runs
The system reads lead details, asks for missing specs, creates a quote task, applies shop-specific pricing assumptions, and blocks risky sends when sizes, blanks, artwork, colors, or deadlines are unclear.
- Quote intake forms by job type.
- Draft estimates from calls, emails, forms, and notes.
- Missing-info flags before send.
- Follow-up sequences for quotes not approved.
What the owner gets back
The goal is not another dashboard to babysit. The goal is a cleaner operating rhythm: fewer missed leads, faster quote review, clearer art status, fewer unpaid jobs in production, and a daily view of what needs attention.
- A single place to see the customer, job, payment, proof, and production status.
- Automations that pause when a human is active and escalate when work is stuck.
- Implementation tuned to the shop instead of generic CRM screens.
Common Questions
Can it use our pricing?
Yes. The setup can encode shop pricing rules, default assumptions, decoration method differences, and manual review thresholds.
What if the job is weird?
Weird jobs should be escalated. The system is designed to flag uncertainty instead of pretending every order is simple.
